Romania is one of Europe’s up and coming tourist destinations. Some of the more popular attractions are Mangalia, Saturn, Venus, Neptun, Olimp and Mamaia (known as the Romanian Riviera). In winter visitors flock to the skiing resorts along the Valea Prahovei and Poiana Brașov.
Combining stunning scenery and breathtakingly quaint historic cities with a real old world charm, this charming country comes highly recommended.
With a warm coast on the Black Sea and the spectacular Carpathian Mountains to the north this country enchants visitors with its diverse landscapes, rich heritage, and warm hospitality.
Bucharest, its lively capital, marries the grandiose architecture of the Ceaucescu era (symbolized by the colossal Palace of Parliament) with a lively café culture and vibrant arts scene.
The country has emerged from the Soviet era as a modern vibrant European country which preserves much of the historic legacy of past times. Dotted throughout the countryside is a plethora of ancient castles and churches, many hidden away in the vast forests and mountains of this fascinating country.

Visiting Romania
Venturing beyond the city, travellers discover the legendary region of Transylvania (famous as the location of Dracula) peppered with medieval citadels such as Bran and Corvin castles, and small Saxon villages where time seems to stand still. The Danube Delta, Europe’s largest wetland, is a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers with its maze of waterways and abundant wildlife.
For history enthusiasts, the painted monasteries of Bucovina, adorned with vivid frescoes and recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, offer a glimpse into the medieval spirituality of the country.
Food: Unique dishes like sarmale (cabbage rolls) and papanasi (cheese doughnuts), paired with local wines or țuică plum brandy are something to relish.
